More than 100 Hamas members arrested by PA
|
[Ynet] In a massive sweep, Paleostinian Authority forces round up dozens of suspects in punitive measure against Gazook terror group, after it placed in durance vile
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
a senior Fatah official.
The Paleostinian Authority's security forces arrested over 100 Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, members in the past two weeks, a senior Paleostinian defense official told Ynet.
The operations reached a climax on Sunday night when -- in an unusual step -- the forces arrested 40 Hamas members, including released detainees, academics, and students in a coordinated effort conducted in multiple cities across the West Bank.
The extensive arrests are being carried out at a time even as Israel continued to hold the PA's tax funds -- for the third consecutive month. The funding freeze is a punitive measure first initiated after the Paleostinian government signed the Rome Statute and applied for membership in the  International Criminal Court
... where Milosevich died of old age before being convicted ...
at The Hague.
The tax funds are used by the Paleostinian Authority to pay salaries for its employees, both civil and military.
The Paleostinian official said the wave of arrests -- 6 to 7 Hamas members per night -- was undertaken in a bid to clampdown on the Gazoo-based terror group after warning lights began flashing in Ramallah. He added that the step was also a punitive measure against Hamas after it arrested a senior Fatah member in Gazoo.
The families of the suspects claimed the arrests were unusually aggressive and included extensive searches of the homes. They threatened to hold protests this morning in front of the security forces' headquarters in the West Bank.
Hamas, for its part, has been trying to steamroll the Paleostinian Authority with a wave of attack ads across the terror group's media outlets. Hamas blamed the PA for cooperating with Israel while suggesting its forces were involved in the arrests.
"We lay the full burden of responsibility for the wave of arrests and the continuing restrictions on Hamas members on the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

and the Paleostinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah, said the group's foreign spokesperson, Hossam Badran, on Monday morning.
"This wave of arrests proves that the security coordination (with Israel) continues at the highest level and there is no weight behind the PLO's Central Council decision to end the cooperation," he added.
The Hamas statement comes in the wake of recent PLO deliberations, which ended with an agreement to halt the security coordination with Israel. The decision, however, is not enforceable and such a measure could only be implemented by Abbas.
